- About My Library
- As can be seen from my library list, I favor mystery books and literary fiction. My favorite mystery authors include Craig Johnson, James Lee Burke, and Tony Hillerman. I also belong to a reading group, which allows me to read other than mystery -- something writers should do because, as the saying among writers goes, reading is writing. This means I not only read to expand my library but also to learn from other writers. Many of the books in my library are selections from my book group.
